CUTTING WOOD
1. Clearly mark the workpiece to locate the
position of the cut.
2. Hold smaller workpieces with a vice. Clamp
larger workpieces to a workbench or table.
DANGER: Any workpiece that is not
adequately clamped in place may come loose
and cause serious injury. Never hold the
workpiece with your hand.
3. Make sure there are no nails, screws,
clamps or foreign materials in the path of
the saw blade.
4. Set the orbital control knob to either
conventional or orbital cutting to produce
the desired cutting effect (Fig. 3).
5. Hold the saw away from your body and in
front of you (Fig. 5).
6. With both hands firmly gripping the saw,
and with the blade NOT in contact with the
surface to be cut, start the saw by
squeezing the switch trigger.
7. Once the saw has reached the desired
speed, place the adjustable pivoting shoe
against the workpiece and gradually bring
the moving blade into contact with the
workpiece at the appropriate location.
CAUTION: Do not force the saw. Use
only enough force to keep the blade cutting.
Excessive pressure on the blade will cause it
to bend and twist, which may result in
breaking the blade.
PLUNGE CUTTING
1. Clearly mark the workpiece to locate the
position of the cut.
2. Clamp the workpiece to a workbench or
table (Fig. 6).
NOTE: Make sure the area to be cut is clear
under the workpiece so that the blade will not
come into contact with anything other than the
workpiece.
3. Set the orbital control knob to conventional
cutting (Fig. 3).
WARNING: Never set the orbital control
knob to orbital setting when plunge cutting. If
you do, blades may bend or break and serious
injury may result.
